The Rossi Bar has taken a formally scary, cramped dive... and turned it into a sleek, if small, Art Deco showplace... [It] might be the closest thing to a true "bistro" in Columbus, featuring quality food and drink until the wee hours in the morning.

Because the thoroughly fabulous food I began slamming back at the Rossi proved the thrill is most certainly not gone here... My excitement grew from fantastic nightly specials and spread to just-introduced menu items... This translated into meals as good as I've recently had anywhere in town.
